                    Toast.makeText(BookActivity.this, "Data Saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    userDbHelper.close();
                }

Why do you have 2 different defintions to the variable time? you use R.id.time and R.id.radio. — T.S, Oct 22 '16 at 20:13

The problem might be in the RadioGroup Time Varaible because first you set the id to R.id.time and in addListener function you change the id to R.id.radio.check the RadioGroup Id which is correct in xml. Sure this help.Thanks
